Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I'm happy for you.
I'm not so sure if that had any subtext in it or not. It's hard to detect sarcasm over a medium like this.
Being autistic doesn't help detect sarcasm either.
Sorry, it wasn't supposed to be sarcastic. As I read it I thought it was ambiguous too, but for some reason I couldn't think of a way to clarify. Somehow I forgot about the existence of tone indicators.
I've been pretty out of it due to significant physical pain. I've been using Lemmy as a way to talk to strangers I treat as friends, as a distraction I don't think too much about. I'm sorry for any confusion. I send a stranger's well wishes.
I'm genuinely happy for you that Windows works. It didn't for me, but that's alright. And sometimes an OS is just a tool, not an identity.
